I'm trying to install FC2 to my 400 MHz PII (6GB Harddrive, 256 MB RAM)
First error message is
   * "The Fedora Core CD was not found in any of your CDROM drive. 
Please insert the Fedora Core CD and press OK to retry"*
I'm sure that the CD is good(tested). With help, I passed that point by 
type linux ide=nodma at boot:
Then now the error occurs while transferring the install image
   * "An error occurred transferring the install image to your hard 
drive. You are probably out of disk space"*
I have a 6GB hard drive with  102 MB  /boot, 5585MB /, and 510MB swap. I 
chose to install the server which takes only 1000MB. And according to 
the FC spec, it requires 1.1G. So I don't think I ran out of disk space. 
I looked around on the internet it said type* linux allowcddma* would 
help. With this options at boot:, I would encounter the first problem of 
CD can't be found.  Any idea would be appreciated.
